The Old Town or Valencia Historic Center is a must-see. The buildings, preserved perfectly, will take you to medieval Valencia. You can climb the stairs of the Miguelete and Serrano’s Towers to enjoy fantastic sights of the city, visit the Cathedral and stroll through the streets that are a perfect blend of old and new… You will also come across lots of bars and restaurants where you can stop for lunch, dinner or simply have a glass of wine on a terrace while admiring the city-sights.

One of the most appreciated places by visitors, the City of Arts and Sciences offers tourists and Valencians a great space in the outdoors, with a wide range of cultural and leisure activities. Do not forget to visit the Oceanográfico and the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum.
